@SonsofArachne what? You telling me you know all the localities of popular sp in the hobby?

Just wish we'd change common names to locality names.

@Venom1080 I'm pretty sure no one know the localities of most of the T's in the hobby. I'm afraid that train left the station long ago.

@cold blood something every pokie lover should have. Only one species known in Nuwara Eliya.. common names ought to teach locality.

@Inktomi2 I paid 70 Canadian dollars for a 1.5" sling/young juvies. Bought from Tarantulacanada. They don't ship to the states. This is also a species that is illegal to ship across state lines. good luck..

@cold blood, Nuwara Eliya is in Sri Lanka, and is part of their "highlands," so likely P. subfusca. Colours match that of P. subfusca HL as well.
